Just became a member, but I've used this site for years to gather info and ideas on past builds! I just recently purchased a 1930 modelA 5 window body and am looking for ideas! This will be a traditional hot rod style build! Any info or ideas are much appreciated!
Welcome. Off the bat, I'll just set you straight on one thing: all Model A coupes had 5 windows, so saying it is redundant. If anyone says "what about sport coupes?" That is a different animal.
Oh yeah, that doesn't look rough at all - great start! You can pick up a model a frame pretty easily if you keep your eyes open on craigslist, facebook marketplace, or even here in the classified section. One step at a time and it will get there.
Welcome from Virginia. Goods like a Great start. I love model A's. I have lots of A parts and a good extra frame too. I don't sell stuff. But I've given a lot of stuff away if it helps with a friends build. So where ya from? I Love to help if I can? There's nothing more FUN than a Model-A!!! Ron........
Thanks! I'm from Edna, Texas about 100 miles south of Houston. My current plan is to fab a full custom frame from 2x4 3/16 wall rectangle tubing, And channeling the body the 4 inches. Sounds like me I tend to collect never know when you or someone may need it! Currently searching for a nice original trunk lid since almost every car seams to be missing that, but I may have one located near by!
